250 ml Bottle: Pours ruby-brown with quite a bit of odd bubble lacing and a thin off-white head. Aroma is very busy and quite interesting; raisins, plums, molasses, oak are all present in heavy amounts. Flavour was decidedly underwhelming based on my post-aroma expectations, this is a carbonation-heavy mild brew with very little flavour when it’s cold. When I allowed it time to warm I could pick out a distinct red wine and fruity sweetness, but it was still a bit of a stretch. I’d hoped for better.

Aug 2, 2008 Pours a nice brown with a small off white head. Aroma of fruits, wood, malt, sourness. Flavor is sour fruits, with a sweetness to balance it out. Pretty decent brew.

Aug 1, 2008 First sip of sour and then the sourness becomes quaffable to a degree that I found surprising.

Jul 30, 2008 11.2oz bottle. Pours a dark, slightly oily cherry-cola color; light tan head with patchy retention and lacing. Mildly tart and overripe red fruits (strawberries, cherries), honey, apples, and cereal in the aroma; not a ton of tartness or depth, but reasonably clear nose. Relaxed carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: slight acidity, very mildly tart (cherries, watery strawberries); some oak toastiness and honey are present as well, but this is definitely lacking some depth, and any initial tartness and citric jolt at the front soon dissipates after the first few sips; pleasant, just not an exceptional example, and a very pronounced cereal note that isn’t quite what I’m looking for in a sour ale. Medium finish: lots of candy sugar, honey, and some red fruit maltiness.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle and tap. Odd to me this doesn’t taste more like wood after a supposed 20 months. Fairly non-impressive on most accounts, thin and wishing for more.
